| *House of horror |
Lagos popular
suburb of Ejigbo was thrown into confusion yesterday as news spread of how a middle
aged man whose name was simply given as Michael macheted his parents to death
and nearly killed his sister who went away with fatal injuries.
The sad
event happened at their house, a reddish brown colored
duplex on Alhaji Akeem Gbadamosi street Ejigbo at about 5 pm Tuesday, 4th
February, 2020.
Eye witnesses
told ECD Reporters that the man had a history of mental issues and usually terrorised
passersby when ever his medical condition was aggravated.
On the day
he killed his parents, ECD gathered that he engaged in an argument with his
father about going out.
According to close sources, “due to his medical issues, his parents always locked him indoors to avoid the embarrassment
his actions created for the family.
Neighbours suspect that it must have been the insistence
of his father, a popular lawyer and property mogul that he stayed indoors that led
him to pick up a machete and deal deadly blows on the hapless man suspected to be in his 70s.
When his mum,
a nurse came out to ask what was amiss, she also got her own share of the machete
cuts.
While she
was writhing in death throes in the pool of her own blood, her daughter, the killer’s
sister came in. But an early warning from their mum who was
still alive as at the time saved her as she ran out pursued by the killer who also
gave her a fatal cut.
“After committing
the crime, he rushed out of the house and stood at the junction of the street looking
harassed with splashes of blood on his body and face. All of us were shocked
when his sister also came out not long after with bloodied hands and the news of
what he had done started licking out. By then he had disappeared into thin air
As at the
time of filing this report, the Police had evacuated the bodies and sealed up
the house and declared a manhunt for a killer on the loose.
